Looks like he's made a new best friend there as well, although keeping his knees firmly together.

A poor, probably unemployable, Romanian in the middle of yet another freezing grey sooty Bucharest winter somehow stumbles across a couple of thousand Leu. He looks around at the options...
"Hmmm... exactly enough for a one way ticket to Phnom Penh plus 7 days food drink and accomodation."

I reckon he maybe made a perfectly rational decision.

Judging by the way he's standing, it appears he’s trying to stop the vibrator from falling out.

When these people lose their passports, why don't they make arrangements to get a replacement or temporary document, so they can go home ?

You get the impression that most of them don't really want to sort the problem out to be honest
